Lawn Care
Whichever type of lawns you have chosen, any of them will require careful and continuous care.
Perhaps caring for the lawn, is even more important than the choice of lawn grass and soil preparation.
The first year of life the lawn needs mowing as often as possible because of the fact that the fast-growing riding lawn grass can drown the slow-growing grass-roots. To avoid this , it must be frequently watered and regularly mowed and fed.
First time to mow the lawn necessary when lawn grass grows till 10 centimeters . At a height of lawn grass should be cut no more than 1 / 3 height.
In summer the lawn should be cut 1-2 times a week. Terms of mowing should be strictly followed in all weather, otherwise you may face the problem of thinning of the lawn : the grass quickly rots, and lawn grass will be spoiled.
After mowing a lawn grasses should be taken from lawn, and gently "combed" by rake.
Water the lawn at least 1 time per week, abundantly, but without the fanaticism, water should not stagnate.
From early spring until the end of the summer grass needs to be fed 1-2 times a month by special mineral additives for lawns with high nitrogen content. In late August, nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped to begin to prepare the lawn for winter.
Preparing the lawn for winter
In the first year preparing the young grass of the lawn for the winter is the most important moment. Its health will depend on how well you prepare the lawn for the winter in the first year.
In late August, it is necessary to make a potassium-phosphorus diet for your lawn By this time, if you properly maintain nitrogen feeding line, your lawn grass will be muted dark green color.
Typically, the last mowing of grass takes place in late October when the season of planting trees begins. Cut the lawn grass to 5 cm and left it until winter. All that will fall on the lawn before the first snow should be removed, otherwise, the fallen leaves will provoke an oxygen starvation of the lawn, and it will die.
Walking on the lawn grass is forbidden until the moment when it should be covered by a dense layer of snow.
And next summer lawn grass will again delight you and your by cheerful green cover.
